Táto edícia skúma interdisciplinárne aplikácie štatistiky naprieč spoločenskými a behaviorálnymi vedami. Ponúka hlboký vhľad do kvantitatívnych metód používaných v psychológii, sociológii, politológii a ďalších odboroch. Monografie a učebnice v sérii poskytujú teoretické základy aj praktické nástroje pre výskumníkov aj študentov. Cieľom je prepojiť štatistickú teóriu s reálnymi problémami a dátami z rôznych spoločenských kontextov.
Designed to introduce the basics of mathematical probability and statistics useful to law students and practitioners, this second edition includes many new problems reflecting current developments in the law, and has been rewritten at a more elementary level. The book includes real-world case studies where statistical data has played a role.
Modern Analytical Equipment for the Survey Statistician
The book focuses on the intersection of missing data and small-area estimation, stemming from the author's experiences as a C-pion Fellow. It emphasizes the importance of integrating academic and industrial statistics to enhance government statistics. The author reflects on the collaborative efforts during lectures and workshops, acknowledging the contributions of colleagues and the supportive environment at Massey University. This work highlights the need for closer ties between academia and industry to drive progress in statistical research and applications.
The book delves into the evolution of psychometric methods over four decades, highlighting significant advancements in educational and psychological measurement. It discusses the emergence of criterion-referenced assessment, which prioritizes individual performance against defined knowledge and skills, and contrasts this with traditional norm-referenced approaches. Additionally, the introduction of item response theory (IRT) is examined, showcasing its advantages over classical test theory, particularly in enhancing measurement practices and addressing previous limitations in test development and evaluation.
Generalizability theory offers an extensive conceptual framework and a powerful set of statistical procedures for characterizing and quantifying the fallibility of measurements. Robert Brennan, the author, has written the most comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of generalizability theory. The book provides a synthesis of those parts of the statistical literature that are directly applicable to generalizability theory. The principal intended audience is measurement practitioners and graduate students in the behavioral and social sciences, although a few examples and references are provided from other fields. Readers will benefit from some familiarity with classical test theory and analysis of variance, but the treatment of most topics does not presume specific background.
Focusing on software implementations in S-plus and R, this volume is designed for measurement specialists and students interested in the Bayesian approach to modern test theory. It serves as both a practical handbook and an educational textbook, providing access to online software implementations for enhanced learning and instruction.
Ordinal Data Modeling is a comprehensive treatment of ordinal data models from both likelihood and Bayesian perspectives. A unique feature of this text is its emphasis on applications. All models developed in the book are motivated by real datasets, and considerable attention is devoted to the description of diagnostic plots and residual analyses. Software and datasets used for all analyses described in the text are available on websites listed in the preface.
Viele Forscher in der Psychologie und Statistik haben zunehmende Aufmerksamkeit auf die Testäquivalenz gerichtet, da Fragen zur Verwendung mehrerer Testformen aufgetaucht sind und als Reaktion auf Kritiken an traditionellen Testtechniken. Dieser Text bietet eine praxisorientierte Einführung in die Testäquivalenz und behandelt die am häufigsten verwendeten Äquivalenzmethoden sowie viele der praktischen Probleme, die damit verbunden sind. Die Hauptthemen des Buches sind: die Zwecke und Annahmen der Äquivalenz; klassische Äquivalenzmethoden; Äquivalenzmethoden der Item-Response-Theorie; Standardfehler der Äquivalenz; und praktische Probleme bei der Äquivalenz.
The third edition of this esteemed guide delves into the methodology of data collection and the synthesis of exam scores. It provides comprehensive insights on equalizing, scaling, and moderating results, along with practical advice on designing, administering, and marking standardized tests. This revised edition enhances understanding of effective assessment practices, making it an invaluable resource for educators and assessment professionals.
